Terri might update the blog in exchange for us both writing 25 things about ourselves.
I'm not going to fill it all out now, but here are the first three that came to mind
1.I love Africa. I know this is weird because I am white and have no connection to Africa whatsoever, other than it is where we all descended from, so maybe we all have a connection to Africa.
2. When I used to first look at a picture or something, I would notice people, but now I am noticing light, and the pavilion area by Holden hall has some of the best lighting.
3. I love reading XKCD, though I don't understand it sometimes.
4. I like sitting somewhere quiet on a friday night and doing nothing but blogging, writing, and reading.
5. I want to garden. I like the idea of nurturing plants.
6. It makes me really happy to water my indoor plants
7. my physical therapist and I talked about Russian literature during my session. I don't care for it, but he really does.
8. I feel like I have the opportunity to accomplish great things with my life, and I am beginning to understand what those things may be.
9. I really like the traditions and mass of the Catholic Church. I don't agree with some of their stands or interpretations of the bible, but I like that every mass is the same. It is very meditative.
10. Earl Gray is my favorite tea followed by a red tea called "Good Hope Africa". I think tea makes some of the best gifts
11. Seva is one of the best things that has happened to me here at college
12. My mac's name is Banyan.
13. I don't believe anyone goes to hell or any other type of eternal punishment.
14. My favorite author is J.M Coetzee, and he has had a huge influence on my writing.
15.I went to Big Bend in may with my father and some of his grad students, and for one night we didn't have air conditioning. I have never been so hot at night.
16. I don't handle criticism very well, and often take it as a personal attack.
17. Terri and I did a half marathon in November.
18. Every summer my family goes to Wisconsin, and while there, my sister, Kristin, and I "moo" at the moo-cows.
19. I like the idea of there being cycles. Especially time.
20. I recently re-read the Hobbit, and now understand that Tolkien was a genius.
21. I'm running Ubuntu on my triple eee. His name is Mu. I would have never known what Ubuntu was if it weren't for Glen.
22. I used to think technology was the problem not the user.
23. I love listening to the LOTR fellowship of the ring soundtrack. Especially "Concering Hobbits"
24. I have a walking stick my father bought for me in big bend hanging on my living room wall.
25. I am learning Spanish, and feel there is a reason for it, but do not understand what that reason is.
